I’m no constitutionalist, but I’m pretty sure the part of the 1st Amendment that says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” covers this, as a version of the original “nor shall any national religion be established”, but that’s just me.

But but but!

Clearly, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” means that if somebody wants to establish a national religion, Congress can’t pass laws to stop them! Bwahahah - checkmate athiests!

It’s like arguing with rocks.
